I thought we'd go for a budget option for today's Mary Jane Monday column, just in case the Christmas shopping is forcing you to reign back on your shoe spending a little. These grey double-strap Mary Janes are from Forever 21, and while they're never going to be the best-made shoes in your collection, the fact that they're only $19.80, and in a style you're bound to get lots of wear out of before they finally fall apart, may just make up for that. They're also available in black, and you can buy a pair here.

Red patent Mary Janes by Jimmy Choo. To be perfectly honest, there's not really a whole lot to say about them, other than that they're beautiful, and as far as Mary Janes go, I think these are some of the nicest. Gotta love that red patent upper!
Of course, being Jimmy Choos, they're not cheap: they do, however, have 20% off at Bluefly, making them $492.

Teal: it's one of my favourite winter colours (I don't know why it feels like a "winter" colour specifically, it just does) and I know lots of you like it too, so these patent, teal coloured Mary Janes seemed like a good choice for our Mary Jane Monday slot.
These are only £30 from Next, and I like the high platform and almond toes, which makes these the kind of shoes that would be suitable for wearing with both trousers and skirts/dresses. And the patent uppers should provide a nice bit of waterproofing, too!

We tend to feature a lot of high heeled shoes here on Mary Jane Monday, so just for a change, here's a more "traditional" pair of flat Mary Janes from Dune. The style press have been referring to this winter as "the season of the flat" for some time now, but whether you believe that or not, you can never go wrong with a cute pair of black flats, and these ones will take you just about everywhere, looking good with jeans, skirts and dresses alike. They're £35 and you can buy them here.

I'm a big fan of both Eley Kishimoto and bows in general, so these shoes were probably always going to be winners for me, but the tweed uppers and pink trim have sealed the deal for me. Then there's that shiny silver heel...
The mix of fabrics (tweed, patent, metallic leather) and colours sound like they shouldn't work together but somehow they do, and there's something just a little bit eccentric about the result that makes me love it even more. The tweed is perfect for winter, so if you want to get your hands on these as soon as possible, head over to ASOS.com where they're £205.

Our second Topshop selection of the day, but really, there was no way we couldn't feature these 'Sugar' Mary Janes as our Mary Jane Monday selection, was there? Camper than Christmas, these come in black, red or multicoloured glitter, cost £60, and I don't know about you, but I can't stop looking at them, even although I'd probably never wear them. And if I did wear them, I just know I'd spend the evening clicking my heels together and hoping they'd take me to Oz...

Shoe Studio Group, the company behind Bertie, Nine West, Pied a Terre, etc, have just revamped their website, adding more brands and making it even more of a shoe-lover's dream than it was to start with. One of the first pairs of shoes to leap out at me when I looked at the new site this morning was these 'Astonish' Mary Janes by Bertie, which were just perfect for our Mary Jane Monday slot, so here they are!
These retain the classic shape of the high heeled Mary Jane, but replace the usual narrow strap with a wide, patent one. It's a nice twist on the style, with the covered buttons giving the shoes a bit of a vintage look which I like. These are £70.
